<TITLE>29. Par 243-250</TITLE>L-243 Now, watch what takes place here.
And he caused all, both... great, rich... poor, free... bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their forehead:
And that no man might buy or sell, till he... had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him that has understanding count the numbers of the beast: for it is... number of a man; and his number is six hundred three score and six... (Which we know who that is, it's the hierarchy at Rome, pope.)
I been right there and seen it myself, would know, up over his place (his throne, as it was) like they set the first Boniface up, the III, up at the beginning of the Catholic age here. And up over there is VICARIUS FILII DEI, which means "a vicar of the Son of God." Dei, Dei, "Deity." See, see? "The vicar of the Son of God." In other words, "Just like the Son of God setting here on earth." See? All powers to change the Bible, change anything he wants to... Therefore, say, "Hail Mary." What does the pope say? "We'll have 'Hail Mary.'" That settles it. Uh-huh. "Well, we'll do so-and-so." What the pope says, that's it; that's it. "A vicar instead of the Son of God."
Just recently they had that dogma out that "Mary was not buried," (And they got her grave and everything marked where she's buried.), said, "No, she rose again and resurrected." The pope said, "That's it." and that's just it. It's infallible (See?); the pope said so. See, "Vicar of the Son of God..."

L-246 And said, "Now, anybody that wants to know who the beast is, where this power comes from," It said, "count the numbers and let them that has wisdom..." There that's one of the gifts of the Holy Ghost is wisdom. See? "Let he that has wisdom count the numbers of the man, for it--count the numbers of the beast, for it's the number of man, and his number is 666. Now, you take the--and spell that name out, V-I-C... Oh, and--and just according to the words, and draw a line down here and--or add up the Roman numerals, and you'll find here you got 666. See? That's right.

L-247 "And now, let's make a image unto that beast." And over in this country they made a image: a confederation of denominations together, the Nicolaitanes getting together and denominated themselves; and finally will unite this brotherhood, not come in as Catholics, but they'll be united as a brotherhood to try to stamp out Communism.
And the Bible said that God raised up Communism to get revenge upon the nations for what they've done to the children of God. Exactly right. He said, "And they--they--they give their power and everything to the beast for one hour, and to revenge the people, the... of the blood that they had shed." And when that atomic bomb or whatever it is will strike that Vatican City, and the Roman hierarchy will be no more, it said, "And in her was found the blood of every martyr that ever was killed in the world." There she is. And here's the image to it, a confederation of churches.
Won't be long till we'll have to close them doors out yonder, that's right, or either take a denominational mark. And we'll close the doors. That's right. We'll... We know better than that.

L-250 Now, now I want, just for the squeezing down part, before we leave in the next few minutes. Now, the Seal of God is the Holy Spirit. All know that, don't you? All right, we all know that, that the Seal of God is the Holy Spirit. Now, that's found... You take Revelation 9--9:1 to 4, you'll find that they all had the seal in their forehead. I Corinthians 1:22, Paul said, "Whereby He has sealed us by His Holy Spirit until the day..." Ephesians 4:30, says, "Grieve not the Holy Spirit," that's that Angel that come forth sealing upon their forehead. Now, that doesn't mean you... He takes and puts a spot up there. Your forehead is your revelation (See?), and your hand is the thing you do about it. See, it's a spiritual mark. See? He don't take a big stamp and stamp you like that. Oh, no.
